She didn't even wait forto try and talk her into staying, just jumped out of the car.
I texted her that evening, telling her not to act hastily, but got no reply.
I thought she was just angry. After all, the Patterson Group's Design Department is renowned, and I figured she wouldn't throw away such a great opportunity.
But I was wrong. The next day, I received her resignation letter.

I tossed the resignation letter aside, "Rachel, think it over. Maybe Clyde will cool off by tomorrow." "Don't you want to work withand Jade like we did in college?" Back in college, our dorm was incredibly close-knit. Even though Rachel was somewhat of a loner, she'd still actively participate in our activities. We'd completed assignments and designs together and even visited construction sites as a group. I thought we had a good relationship.
But she just kept shaking her head.
"No, Melanie, just sign it. I'm leaving the company." "For what reason?" Clyde suddenly barged into my office and tore the resignation letter into pieces.
"Melanie, this is too much. You're just a director; what right do you have to fire her?" Seeing Clyde act so cluelessly infuriated me. Men really are cutest when they're knocked out cold.
I picked up a piece of the torn letter, pointing at the words and saying, "Resignation. Have you lost your ability to read?" "It was my decision to quit, Melanie had nothing to do with it." Rachel stepped back, putting sdistance between herself and Clyde.
Clyde coughed awkwardly, then glared atagain.

The news about Clyde's new romance had already spread through the company. Without even hearing their whispers, I knew they were gossiping about Clyde and Rachel's relationship.
Rachel kept her head down, while Clyde stood in front of her in a protective stance.
"Melanie!" "Clyde, are you done causing a scene? I never said she had to resign, and I won't approve it." "If you want to continue this, please leave!"
I kept telling myself he was really sick, that something was wrong with his brain, but I couldn't help getting angry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRachel hesitantly reached out and tugged at his sleeve "Clyde, I won't resign. Please, don't be upset." Watching her gesture, I felt a bit dazed. That used to be my way of calming Clyde down...
Sure enough, Clyde immediately turned to look at her.
"You better not be lying! Even if she tries to push you out, don't worry, I've got your back." Rachel pressed her lips together, then nodded at him.
Clyde sighed in relief. "Alright, then get back to work." He gaveone last glare.
"Don't worry, she won't do anything to you. I've got your back." He took Rachel by the hand and left the office, and this time, she didn't resist.
Watching him settle Rachel at her desk and carefully adjust her hair, my eyes welled up with tears again. I angrily pulled down the blinds, not wanting to see this painful scene any longer.
Clyde, I'll remember everything you've done today! Ashburn X
